Alpha 66 leader Nazario Sargen

I was going through some old CDs and came across these photos of Andres Nazario Sargen, former head of Alpha 66, an anti-Castro paramilitary group. I shot these photos in the living room of his home in May 2003.
A curious detail in the bottom photo is the weapon, lower left, which looks like some sort of muzzle-loading blunderbuss.
Sargen, who tried for decades to force Fidel Castro from power, died of cancer in October 2004.
